I've been using Chicago Cutlery for years. All my kitchen knives plus hunting knives. Easy to sharpen, hold a good edge for a reasonable time. I have butchered and boned out several Elk with then. Just keep a good stone handy and hit em a lick ever so often.

I like my old Dexters. I picked them up when I was a cook (reply)

I have a couple Dexter filet knives that I think would work - if I could ever catch a fish!

I ordered some Dexter's - didn't go for the very top of the line models. I think my wife will be happy with them.

Thanks,

Rod M

Here is a couple good american companies. Price wise they are middle of the road. You get what you pay for in knives jut like everything else. I have a few knives from both. Good knives!!! You probably could get by with a few paring knives(3' and 4"),boning knife, and 6-8" chef knife. As stated Henkels are very good depending on the grade you get. And get a good steel(or Ceramic) and touch up often. If you never let you knife get dull you will never really have to sharpen.

I like two brands of knives and both are made right here in Massachusetts. One company, Lamson and Goodnow is made in Shelburne Falls Massachusetts. They have a couple of factory stores and I bought some of their products for the kitchen on line as well as when taking a day trip to the Mohawk Trail area.

The other company, Dexter-Russell, is made in Southbridge Massachusetts where they have a factory store that is open on Thursday evening and Saturday morning. They have factory seconds where you can get some nice knives for two to three dollars.

I like my Chicago knives too! The Made in thr USA (reply)

carbon steal knives are razor sharp! I built a short skinner out if a carver and it sliced through the welt and stiching of a sheath the first week I carried it. I still have my dad's Chicago cutlerly and Old Hickory Butcher knives.

Agreed. Don't rely on the branding, though... check (reply)

the knife. Lots of the big stores sell Chinese-made junk that is branded with famous names.

Another good quality affordable line are the Victorinox-made Forschner.

A couple good french knifes for chopping
a sharp boning knife and a couple paring blades
a bread knife & you'll be set for most chores.
We also have a Ginso type set that out performs the Cutco blades at every level.
Henchel are good and easily acquired at the mall stores.

A great set :

I'm looking for some good kitchen/cooking knives for my wife. I was going to look at Cabela's to see what was available, but thought I would see if any of you kind gentlemen had any opinions. We don't need a lot of knives, just 3 or 4 good ones that will cover cooking needs.
